The legendary weapon Rand-Transit drops so incredibly frequently that it has become a running gag in the community of Destiny 2. However, behind the funny meme lies actual dissatisfaction.
What is Rand-Transit? Rand-Transit is one of the five legendary grenade launchers that were implemented with the Forsaken DLC in Destiny 2. Just a few days after the launch of the DLC, many guardians noticed that Rand-Transit has a very high drop rate and is significantly more common than other weapons in the power slot.
Especially rocket launchers seem to be very rare according to reports since Forsaken, and since the nerf of the drop rate of exotic engrams it can be quite hard to get various heavy weapons.
The community reacts with humor: After several large threads on Reddit were opened on the topic, players started to make jokes about the drop rate. The Kotaku author Jason Schreier lists in his top 5 best weapons in Destiny 2 exclusively Rand-Transits.
But on Reddit and in the Bungie forums, some funny gameplay suggestions for Rand-Transit have also come together:
- To create an emote where the guardian pulls one Rand-Transit after another out of their pocket and throws them in a pile
- A special “Rand-Transit-Launcher” weapon that has Rand-Transit grenade launchers as ammunition
- New unlockable Rand-Transit subclass for the guardians, for which you need Seed of Light
- Proposal that you have to defeat the final boss of the new raid using only Rand-Transits to unlock the ultimate secret of Forsaken
- Various petitions for sparrows and spaceships shaped like Rand-Transit.
- Change the reload animation of Rand-Transit: After the magazine is empty, the guardian should simply throw the weapon away and pull a new one out of their pocket, like Reaper in Overwatch
The players are taking the exaggeratedly high drop rate with humor, anyway.
Problem behind the funny meme
Does Forsaken have too few new weapons and armor? However, behind the funny situation lies a more serious problem of Destiny 2: Forsaken. The amount of weapons and armor that has been added with the last DLC is relatively low upon closer inspection. This issue is balanced out well by the random perk rolls, but in cases like Rand-Transit, it still seeps through.
One of the reasons for this is the fact that a large part of the gear from the first year of Destiny 2 is practically useless because it does not have the random perks from Forsaken. This topic has also been thoroughly discussed in the official forums and on Reddit.
And until the guardians are delivered more new gear in the future, we will all still see a lot of Rand-Transits.
